Modelling of Renewable Energy Systems
Description of the course
In this course, students will gain a deep understanding of the fundamental principles related to renewable energy production, including areas like hydrogen production and wind energy. The curriculum integrates theoretical knowledge with hands-on practical calculations, equipping students with the proficiency to model renewable energy production processes effectively.
Students will enhance their expertise in data analysis and modelling, essential skills for the renewable energy sector. They will be capable of conducting resource potential assessments, select optimal installation sites, and performing cost-benefit analyses to optimize renewable energy projects.

Spatial projection
We use the CRS suggested by Geonorge. In this sense, the national wide data are in “ETRS89 / UTM zone 33N”, which correspond to the EPSG code of 25833 (link), and therefore we transform all our coordinates to that CRS.
